The Latino Victory Fund (LVP), a political action committee for Latinos in the U.S., produced an ad using the anti-Latino rhetoric of the current presidential race in hopes to drum up some Latino voter turnout.

Immigrant actors read real quotes from Republican presidential candidates (Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Bobby Jindal) that describe Latinos as "criminals," "rapists," and "anchor babies."

LVP says the ad will be the first in a series that hopes to mobilize Latino voters before election day in 2016.

“Latinos are disgusted by the outrageous claims made by 2016 presidential hopefuls, who are trying to marginalize our community for their own gains,” said Cristóbal J. Alex, the President of the Latino Victory Project. “If this is what the candidates are saying, what policies will they put in place if elected? Our community has the power to decide the election, and we need to make sure that our voices are heard so that our leaders reflect our values.”
